Cricket 1892

2 4 8 CKICKET: A WEEKLY BEOOBD OF THE GAME. JUNE 30, 1892 WARWICKSHIRE v. LANCASHIRE. The Warwickshire eleven had not the beat of nek for their second match with Lancashire, played at Birmingham on Monday and Tuesday. Injuries deprived them of the services of Major as well as Cresswell, and in addition in winning the toss Lancashire gained a distinct advantage. Going in first on Monday, Lancashire scored freely, their innings, which lasted five hours, realising a total of 357. To this sum Sugg, Briggs, and Smith contributed 234. Sugg was mis3ed at point the first ball he had, but afterwards played admirable cricket, hitting with vigour whenever opportunity offered. Briggs helped Sugg to add 135 in an hour and a half. ihe former’s 72 was a characteristic display of fre3 cricket, and in proof of this it may b3 stated that he was only in an hour and a half. By way of contrast Smith was batMug two hours aud twenty minutes for his 67. Though a shower made the wicket fairly easy while Richards aid Li'ley were together on Tuesday, it was gen- rally in favour of the bowlers, and Mold and Briggs w ?ro so successful that the innings was over for 130. Jb’o!- ]owing on in a minority of 227. the Warwickshire battiog was something like a reflex of the first innings. Lilley again hit free'y, and hia stand with Pallett on the fall of the seventh wicket, which resulted in 37 runs, was the best of the innings. No one else however could do anything with Briggs, and when the tenth wicket fell, Lancashire were the winners by an innings and 105 runs. Had the rain which came down heavily at the finish fallen a minute or two earlier the match, which was confined to two days, would have been drawn. Tho bowling of Briggs and Mold was one of the best features of the match. The former took eleven wickets for 96, the latter nine for 106 runs. L a n c a s h ir e . A.

The Essex eleven gavo a very disappointing show in this match, begun at Southampton on Monday, and the game waa over early on the following afternoon. Barton, who played for Kent in 1889 and 1890, anl has a birth qualifica­ tion for Hampshire, mado the highet score of the match. Burns hit with great vigour in the second innings of Essex, making his 42 in about the same number of minutes. Of tho rest, Car­ penter alone showed anything like form, and as the aggregate of Essex for twice out was only 195 Hampshire won with 87 runs and tin inninga to spare. Soar’s seven wickets for Hants cost 54, Baldwin’s six 63 runs. H a m p sh ir e . Mr. A. B. Heath, c Kortright, b Mead 21 Mr. R.

Davidaon not only batted well but also bowled with’ success, taking ten wickets at an average of just aix runs a piecp. Porter’s five wickets cost 40 runs, and Hail, who went on in the second innings, diamiaaed four batsmen at an expeuae of only thirteen runs. Smith for Clieahire delivered 40 overa for 46 rune and four wickets. D e r b y s h ir e .

SUSSEX. Kent, who have so far been very unsuccessful this season, broke the spell of ill luck at Graves­ end on Tuesday, with a deciaive victory over Sussex. Losing the toss, Sussex had to take the field, and their bowling gave Buch little trouble to some of the Kent batsmen that 327 runs were scored in three houra and fifty minutes. Alec Hearne, who went in fir8t aa usual, gotruna much more rapidly than ia hia wont. In fact when he waa out, the fifth wicket down, with the total at 119, he had scored just on two thirds of the number. He made his 75 in an hour and a half and nothing like a chance could be urged to the discredit of an excellent innings. Mr. Knowles, who it will be remembered made a creditable first itppearance for Kent against Middlesex at Black­ heath, came in when half the side were out for 119, and his brilliant cricket worked a great improve­ ment in Kent’sposition. Mr. Wilson was a partner quite to his taste, and in seventy-live minutes the two Jamateurs increased the score by 118 runs. Mr. Wilson, who made 70 of the number, scored freely a'l round the wicket. His innings, though, was not without mistakes, as he might have been out twice, once just after he came in, again shortly before he was out. Though the last four batsmen played fairly well, Mr. Knowles saw them all, carrying out his bat. Of the last 208 runs he had contributed 85 by cricket of a very high order. During the two hours and twenty minutes he was batting he gave no chance, and from first to last he played with great confidence and judgment. Humphreys’ lobs resulted in the dismissal of seven of the ten Kent batsmen. His wicketa were got at a cost of aeventeen and a half rnna a-piece. Sussex went iu on Monday with an hour and a quarter left, and in that time lost four of their best batsmen for 66 runs. On the following morning the hatting waa even more disappointing, and in forty-five minutea the innings waa over, the six remaining wicketa only adding 44 runa. Mr. Newham’s batting was the one noteworthy feature of the inninga. He made 41 out of the last seventy-nine runs, and finally carried out his bat. Following on in a minority of 217, Sussex were seen to equal disadvantage, although it must be stated the wicket did not play very well. Mr. Brann, who went in first, played well, making 41 of the 69 runs got at the fall of the eighth wicket. Mr. Andrews at the last hit freely, but otherwise the play was very disappointing, and the innings altogether only lasted two hours and twenty minutes. Kent had thus an easy win by an innings and 109 runs. Walter Hearne bowled with great success for Kent. His ton wickets in tho two inniugs of Sussex cost 135 runs. Martin’s success was gratifying after his failure in the earlier matches. His seven wickets were got at an average of just over eight runs Mr. Malden’s wicket-keeping was decidedly above, the average, anl should entitle him to a further trial. K e n t .
